There is a poem by Charles Bukowsky ‘Everyone knows’, in which a chorus-question is asked to a series of irreducible subjects (‘Ask the sun about a sleeping dog’) to obtain an answer that does not matter, because the focus is on that request that chimes ghostly figures daughters of an incandescent spirit. Here, to paraphrase unworthily, ask any Sicilian, plus Sicilians, and ‘everyone will tell you’ that the mythological and imaginary prototype of nothing is the regional employee. In fact, the regional: the perfect goal. It is wrong.
Obviously that’s not true because it works for them too as for the other categories that summarize the workaholics, the committed, the crafty who do melina and the explicit lazy who imagine themselves protected by who knows what specific divinity. But it is a tough archetype, the representation of the lucky half bust and half desk, kissed by the sun that grazes in the meadows of the fixed salary, without anyone asking for anything in return. Furthermore, the word “regional” by itself means practically nothing and cannot be defined as collective, because it refers to a plurality of people and tasks. However, the dreamlike vision of the ‘idle regional’ who drinks coffee every two minutes and the other one too, in fact, is part of a consolidated set of shocks and resentments.
What President Musumeci said
Precisely for the reasons just described, every time the subject is touched upon, the dust of controversy is set ablaze, whatever the initial intentions. The President of the Region, In MusumecI was explicit, as usual: “The Region was not made to solve problems, it was made to become a ‘social safety net’. The Region was the largest industry for seventy years; You could enter even without competitions, with a business card, with a phone call … this was the Region of Sicily. And not having the courage to say it is really criminal. I have the courage to say so. We had 19,000 employees: 5,000 have retired, we have 13,000 and 50% belong to bands A and B, absolutely not functional to make the regional machine efficient ”.
It is a return to the place of conflict. A few months ago the governor had thundered, again to what was mentioned in a generic way: “Eighty percent of them scratch their belly from morning to night. But don’t tell the unions. Now they want to stay home again to do the ‘nimble work’. But if you don’t work in the office, how do you expect to be controlled at home? ”. Natural the tone replicas directly proportional to the assumption. A blow is answered with a blow. Therefore, in the cloud of dust raised by the mutual crackle of judgments, it is already beautiful that the origin of the question has been lost. And any quiet reflection, from now on, will become impossible.
Controversies in recent years
The ‘regionals’ aren’t new to awkward feeling of those who are in the crosshairs of public opinion, regardless of the legitimacy or not of the disputes. Examining the archives we find the echo of other bellicose situations that, in the heterogeneity of narratives and qualifications, have common denominators. We found them in one of our articles more than a year ago, in the context of an official report: “The Sicilian Region pays too many unskilled employees hired on non-meritocratic criteria. The umpteenth complaint comes from Autonomy section of the Court of Accounts in a chapter of the 2019 Report on the expenditure of personnel of local authorities in the triennium 2015-2017 published now by Pio La Torre Center“We still find them in a chronicle, questioned, in a broad way, by the then undersecretary Davide Faraone: “For the Undersecretary of Education, Davide Faraone, the strike of regional employees proclaimed by the unions for next March 20 in Sicily” is incredible. ” ‘I am impressed – said Faraone on the sidelines of a conference in Palermo – proclaimed this strike by the unions on the reform proposal of the regional government that provides for the equalization of regional employees to public employees and, therefore, the reduction of 600 percent of the hours in additional union leave that Sicilian unionists enjoy compared to the rest of Italy. ”
Not to mention the ‘challenge’ on vacation. Pure Rosario Crocetta circumnavigating the plot, he ascended to the foreground of the story, nevertheless respecting more concrete facts: “The risk of infiltration is present. Attention, better to specify: most of the bureaucracy thinks about working seriously. And often, in fact, it is not even valued. But there is also a part of that bureaucracy, let’s face it, that thinks about other things. ” Where the omnipresence of a category is demonstrated, rightly or wrongly, at the epicenter of many discussions. And these are just a few of the countless examples of a problem that periodically returns or has never gone away.
Regionals, ‘damn vile race’? No but….
Let’s try to summarize. At the end of the day, it cannot be written that the ‘file’ should not face resources, for a better quality of work in the administration, rewarding – as it should be everywhere – those who deserve it and returning those who do not deserve it to the right path, respecting a healthy dialogue with people. It would please those who work seriously. He had intervened at this point. Alessandro Albanese, Deputy Vice President of Sicindustria: “We need a kind of revolution, and then I wonder how long it has been since the proper training for the employees of the Region. Employees that are distributed without logic, with offices full of staff and departments where, on the contrary, human resources are scarce. Not to mention the awards: I am not against it, yes, but you cannot give them a shower with objectives set by the same people who will have to measure their ability ”.
In short, the romance ‘Regionali vil race damned’, very popular, it doesn’t seem like the right key to open the door to a good bureaucracy. It is necessary that the ‘regional’ – the archetype that often serves to excite a certain social resentment, with notorious repercussions of consensus – withdraws from its negative mythology and finally lands in the field of concrete reasoning. “Vaste Program”, an acquaintance would have said total office manager. That is to say: an almost impossible company.
